History[]
- "Let's move, Green squad! Captain Ixsthmus isn't the type that likes to be kept waiting."
- ―A member of Green squad
Green squad trained to be members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Around the time of the battle of Yavin, they joined the Irregulars, guerrilla fighters who attempted to attract the attention of the Imperial forces to them, allowing Alliance High Command to perform important operations. Green squad was part of Reekeene's Roughnecks, the Irregular organization of Fakir sector, and used green armpatches for identification.
Around the time of the Battle of Yavin,[5] Rebel agent Tay Vanis recruited Raleigh Dawn, Smileredon-Verdont, Sammie Staable and Raal Yorta[2][6] in Green squad.[6]
Soon after finishing their training, the members of the Green squad were assigned to the Rebel yacht Long Shot under the command of Captain Ixsthmus, who believed new recruits' skills were subpar. General Lens Reekeene and her adviser Santhou Lazith'chika assigned Green squad to a diplomatic mission on Abonshee, wanting the Alliance to deal with the native Anointed People. The Long Shot was to escort Green squad there.
En route to Abonshee, the Long Shot was attacked by the pirate Captain Jayhawk. Green squad helped Ixsthmus deal with this threat.
